"We are always happy to be considered by U.S. Soccer," Real Salt Lake’s vice president of communications Trey Fitz-Gerald said. "Our track record hosting both the men’s and women’s teams is excellent, and that is a tribute to the rapidly growing and developing soccer culture we have here in Utah."

In March 2005, more than 40,000 people watched the U.S. team beat Costa Rica 3-0 at Rice-Eccles Stadium. The smaller Rio Tinto Stadium was at capacity for a friendly against El Salvador in 2009.
